For WISK Restaurant accounts, we recommend taking a full inventory count at least once a month.

A stock error is whenever a count for an item increases from one inventory to the next, without an invoice to account for the increase in stock.

This shows your consumption of the item as a negative number which throws off the data used to calculate your recommended pars and more. Learn more about stock errors and how to fix them here:

To keep your data accurate, you must start and finish your inventory in a period where there are no sales in your venue.

If you start an inventory and are unable to finish it, follow these steps to cancel it:

Every time you receive stock in your venue, you need to add the invoice. You can add the invoice from a purchase order you generated earlier in WISK, or add it manually.

When your sales data has been imported into your account, go to the "POS Items" page. You'll see a POS Item for each menu item in your POS system.

You then add items in your inventory and the quantity used each time a POS Item is sold in your venue. This is also called "Mapping POS Items". Learn more:

When you integrate your POS with WISK, all of your menu items appear in your account. You’ll then add all the ingredients that are used when that item is sold.

Based on the quantity and cost of each ingredient, it will tell you the overall cost of the item, as well as the item cost percentage (based on the menu price in your POS).

Item costs update automatically if there are any cost changes when you add invoices from your suppliers. You can even set alerts if the cost percentage of an item goes over a specific value. Learn more here:

Once you have added the ingredients to a menu item, the item cost will update automatically whenever the cost of an ingredient updates.

If you see a high item cost, it could be due to a data entry error.

If your sales in WISK don't match the data in your POS, please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined here:

WISK is a complex system that performs many calculations behind the scenes to provide you with useful and actionable data.

For that reason we recommend you access the WISK Web Portal on a computer that has at least 8GB of RAM and a stable internet connection.

We also recommend not using private browsing / incognito mode because WISK saves data locally in your browser to speed up loading times.
